Oh, yes...that was a good idea. Although you could have just used a gonkulater. It would have saved the splicing step. ;-)

I thought about using a gonkulator....but there was a bit of a problem with the dynamic fusing relays.....Great idea though...

What is a gonkulater? Heather H.

It is a device used by blondes when they do not want to splice. :) I think your Aunt Heather had something to do with it's development.

Love,

It is a phony instrument designed by Hogan's Heroes long, long ago. It can be used by anyone bluffing their way through a techy situation when they want to appear smarter than everyone else around them. In the Hogan's Heroes episode I am refering to, the good guys are bluffing the bad guys (Germans) into giving away military secrets. Thus, they made a "gonkulater" and the Germans, not wanting to appear stupid, acted like of course they knew about it and had one too.
Your Uncle Jim has the irritating male habit of spouting off long, unhelpful descriptions of how he does miraculous things with scraps of junk/found items. Thus, the gonkulater. ;-)

It actually is a quite simple device.....soooo simple in fact...I think my sister could have figured it out....with some help.....from Cole.

p.s. Monday I'll try to get a pic of our current work project. It has about 1000 wires and a robot.
